  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1
    The amount of nonperforming assets may increase, resulting in losses, costs and expenses that would negatively affect the Bank's operations.

    At December 31, 2025, the Bank's nonperforming loans represented approximately 1.36% of our total loans. However, the economic outlook in the United States continues to remain uncertain. The Bank's level of nonperforming assets could increase if industry or economic conditions deteriorate. Nonperforming asset levels could also increase due to a change in lending strategy, underwriting errors, a deterioration in our ability to effectively collect our loans, or due to other factors. Going forward, as the amount of nonperforming assets, classified assets, and special mention assets increase, the Bank's losses, and the costs and expenses to maintain collateral likewise may increase as well. Any additional increase in losses related to such assets may have material adverse effects on the Bank's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2
    Nonperforming assets take significant time and resources to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

    Nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. We could incur losses relating to an increase in nonperforming assets. We generally do not record interest income on nonperforming loans or other real estate owned ("OREO"), thereby adversely affecting our income, and increasing our loan administration costs. An increase in the level of nonperforming assets increases our risk profile and may impact the capital levels our regulators believe are appropriate in light of the ensuing risk profile. While we reduce problem assets through loan extensions, workouts, restructurings and otherwise, decreases in the value of the underlying collateral, or in these borrowers' performance or financial condition, whether or not due to economic and market conditions beyond our control, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the resolution of nonperforming assets requires significant commitments of time from management, which may materially and adversely impact their ability to perform their other responsibilities and can distract management from daily operations and other income producing activities. There can be no assurance that we will not experience future increases in nonperforming assets. Additionally, there are legal fees associated with the resolution of problem assets as well as carrying costs such as taxes, insurance and maintenance related to assets acquired through foreclosure. Finally, if our estimate of the allowance for credit losses is inadequate, we would have to increase the allowance for credit losses accordingly, which would have an adverse effect on our earnings. Significant increases in the level of our nonperforming assets from current levels, or greater than anticipated costs to resolve these credits, would have an adverse effect on our earnings.

  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3
    Changes in accounting standards could affect reported earnings.

    The bodies responsible for establishing accounting standards, including FASB, the SEC and other regulatory bodies, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting guidance that governs the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. These changes can be hard to predict and can materially impact how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, the Company could be required to apply new or revised guidance retroactively.

  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 4
    Past Bank performance is not a meaningful financial indicator upon which to base an estimate of our future financial performance.

    Although the Bank has a long operational history, the past financial performance of the Bank is not a complete indicator of the future financial performance of the Bank. As described in these Risk Factors, we face a wide variety of economic, financial, operational, regulatory and other risks which could have a material negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
